Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of underwater structure detection, and particularly to a method for detecting potential hazards of underwater water intake structures based on combined acoustic and optical detection. Background Art
[0002] Currently, the detection of underwater structures mainly relies on acoustic imaging technology, especially devices such as side-scan sonar and multi-beam sonar. By analyzing the echo signals, an underwater structure image is constructed. Such methods have a certain penetration ability and imaging range and have been widely used in tasks such as underwater structure identification and pipeline inspection. However, traditional sonar imaging has obvious limitations. Due to the complex and variable underwater environment, the structure of the underwater structure often has features such as occlusion, mutation, or grooves, making it impossible for sound waves to effectively cover the target area, resulting in a large number of blind spots, missing image information, and incomplete structure identification.
[0003] In addition, the resolution of sonar images is limited, the ability to express details is poor, the edges of the targets are blurred, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision identification. At the same time, acoustic signals are sensitive to the environment and are easily affected by changes in water temperature, salinity, and background noise, resulting in poor image stability and low signal-to-noise ratio, further affecting the accuracy of structure positioning and size measurement. More importantly, in the existing technology, traditional detection methods are difficult to synchronously evaluate the scouring volume and blockage degree due to the single data dimension: although multi-beam sounding can identify macroscopic terrain changes, it cannot penetrate the gaps between the gratings to detect internal siltation; although sonar images can locate structural damage, the local resolution is insufficient due to the influence of sediment occlusion; while ROV optical detection is prone to image blurring under strong current conditions, and it is difficult to quantify the thickness of biological attachment.
[0004] In summary, the existing acoustic detection technology still has problems such as detection blind spots, low image quality, and insufficient identification accuracy when facing complex underwater structures and high-precision detection requirements. There is an urgent need for an improved method that integrates multi-source information and improves detection integrity and accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0019] In order to thoroughly understand the present invention, a detailed structure will be proposed in the following description to explain the technical solution proposed by the present invention. The optional embodiments of the present invention are described in detail as follows. However, in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention can also have other implementation manners.
[0020] Example 1 Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , this application provides a method for detecting potential hazards of a submarine water intake structure based on combined acoustic and optical detection. The method includes the following steps: Step S1: Use an acoustic multi-beam sounding system to perform high-density scanning of the seabed around the water intake head through a broadband sonar array, obtain water surface layer topographic data with centimeter-level resolution, and calculate its overall scouring volume based on the centimeter-level resolution water surface layer topographic data; Specifically, based on the multi-beam sounding system as the macroscopic topographic detection basis, the seabed around the water intake head is scanned at high density through a broadband sonar array (200 - 400 kHz) to generate a digital elevation model (DEM) with centimeter-level resolution. To address the problem of acoustic wave propagation being affected by fluctuations in water temperature and salinity, an AML SV+ sensor is used to correct the sound velocity profile in real time, and combined with GNSS / INS integrated navigation technology, the planar positioning accuracy is ensured to reach ±5 cm and the elevation error is less than ±2 cm. The data in this stage provides a reliable spatial reference for the macroscopic distribution of scouring pits. Specifically, the Reson T50 multi-beam sounding system (operating frequency 200 - 400 kHz, maximum sounding depth 300 m) is used in the experiment, and its swath width and water depth relationship is:
[0021] where the transducer opening angle θ = 150°; The planar positioning accuracy of ±5 cm and the elevation accuracy of ±2 cm are achieved through GNSS / INS integrated navigation. The lateral coverage width is set to 4 times the water depth to ensure complete coverage of the 20 m × 20 m area around the water intake head. To eliminate acoustic wave propagation errors, sound velocity profile data (AML SV+ sensor) is collected in real time and tidal level dynamic correction is performed. After abnormal points (confidence level > 95%) are removed by the CUBE filtering algorithm, a 0.1 m × 0.1 m grid digital elevation model is generated. See Figure 2 , the results show that there is a scouring depression area about 15 m long and 10 m wide on the northeast side of the water intake head, with an average depth of 4.2 m and a maximum scouring depth of 6.5 m. Step S2: Use the high-frequency channel of a dual-frequency imaging sonar to identify millimeter-scale cracks and fishing net entanglement on the surface of the grid of the water body layer structure, and dynamically adjust its signal intensity through an adaptive time-varying gain compensation algorithm to suppress image blurring caused by changes in water turbidity, and obtain millimeter-scale resolution acoustic image data of the grid surface; Specifically, to make up for the limitations of the water surface layer topographic data, see Figure 3, a dual - frequency imaging sonar (EdgeTech 4200MP) is introduced for detecting the water layer structure. The high - frequency 1.2 MHz channel focuses on the refined identification of millimeter - scale cracks on the grille surface and entanglement with fishing nets. The signal intensity is dynamically adjusted through an adaptive time - varying gain (TVG) compensation algorithm to suppress the image blurring caused by changes in water turbidity. The low - frequency 750 kHz channel penetrates the surface sediment to detect the siltation thickness inside the culvert, with a maximum penetration depth of 20 m. Through the spatio - temporal registration of acoustic image data and topographic data, the edge morphology of the scour pit and the damage position of the grille are accurately correlated.
[0022] The technical parameters of the multi - beam sounding system are shown in Table 1: Table 1 Technical parameters of the multi - beam system
[0023] Step S3: Use the ROV optical camera to conduct a close - range observation of the seabed layer, obtain the optical image data of the grille surface, and perform laser calibration on the optical image data to obtain laser calibration data; Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , aiming at the deficiency of acoustic means in micro - defect quantification, an ROV optical camera is deployed to the seabed layer for close - range observation. Under the strong - current condition with a flow velocity of 1.5 m / s, the ROV optical camera suppresses motion blur through an inertial - stabilized gimbal, captures the microscopic morphology of the biological community on the grille surface, and quantifies the attachment thickness (error ±0.2 mm) in combination with the laser calibration data. The fusion of optical and acoustic image data further solves the problem of missed detection of weakly - reflecting targets such as biofilms. Step S4: Fuse the millimeter - scale resolution acoustic image data of the grille surface with the optical image data of the grille surface, apply adaptive histogram equalization to enhance the signal of the target area in the fused data, and then extract the blocked area on the grille surface through the Otsu threshold segmentation algorithm; Step S5: Fuse the optical image data of the grille surface with the laser calibration data, perform spatial interpolation compensation on the blind area on the back - flow side of the grille, extract the geometric constraints of the blind - area boundary, based on the spatial correlation variogram model of the acoustic data under the geometric constraints of the blind - area boundary, and then combine with the Kriging interpolation algorithm to predict the elevation value of the blind - area region and map the elevation value into the blind area to restore the scour morphology of the blind area on the back - flow side of the grille.
[0024] As a preferred solution of the present invention, step S1 specifically includes the following steps: Step S101: Pre - process the water - surface layer topographic data using the CUBE algorithm to remove the outliers caused by multipath effects or suspended - matter interference; Step S102: Based on the reference water - surface layer topographic data of the non - scoured area, use the least - squares method to fit the seabed surface , and its mathematical expression is: where, are all polynomial coefficients, Indicates coordinate direction Indicates coordinate direction; Specifically, based on the reference terrain data of the non-scoured area, a quadratic surface model is constructed, and its fitting residual is controlled within ±3 cm. The elevation difference between the measured terrain and the reference plane is transformed into a continuous triangular mesh through the Delaunay triangulation algorithm. The final cumulative scouring volume is 625.8 m³, accounting for 18% of the designed volume of the water intake head. To verify the robustness of the algorithm, 1000 Monte Carlo simulations were carried out in the present invention, and Gaussian noise with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 5 cm was superimposed on the original data. The results show that the scouring volume error is stable at 3.2% - 4.7% (confidence level 95%). Sampling was carried out on the edge of the scouring pit on the northeast side through ROV optical photography, and the deviation between the measured depth and the calculated value is only 4.3%, indicating the reliability of this method under complex terrain. Specifically, the polynomial coefficients are determined by optimizing the regional terrain characteristics, and the fitting residual is controlled within ±3 cm. The elevation difference between the measured terrain surface and the reference plane is the spatial distribution of the scouring depth. To accurately calculate the volume of the scouring pit, the Delaunay triangulation algorithm is used to transform the discrete point cloud into a continuous triangular mesh. This algorithm generates an optimal triangular mesh under complex boundary conditions by maximizing the minimum interior angle criterion, effectively avoiding the integration error caused by long and narrow triangles. Step S103: Use the Delaunay triangulation algorithm to transform the discrete points of the water surface layer terrain data into a continuous triangular mesh, and calculate the scouring pit volume of each face element can be expressed as: where , , respectively represent the scouring pit depths of the vertices of the triangle, represents the projected area of the triangular face element; the overall scouring pit volume is the sum of the volumes of all face elements.
[0025] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the specific steps of dynamically adjusting its signal intensity through the adaptive time-varying gain compensation algorithm in step S2 include: The acoustic wave intensity decays with the propagation distance: where represents the received intensity of the acoustic wave at a distance , represents the water body attenuation coefficient of the received signal, represents the distance between the sonar and the target, represents the initial intensity of the transmitting sound source, represents the exponential function; according to and , dynamically adjust the received gain: where Indicates the received real-time gain at a distance , Indicates the reference gain Indicates the intensity attenuation caused by geometric spreading Indicates compensation for the energy loss caused by the water attenuation coefficient .
[0026] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step S3 further specifically includes quantifying the attachment thickness of the biological community on the grille surface according to the optical image data of the grille surface in combination with the laser calibration data: assuming that the pixel height of the microscopic morphology image contour of the biological community on the grille surface in the vertical direction is , then the actual thickness is: wherein represents the conversion coefficient from pixel to actual distance; then the laser calibration data specifically uses the standard deviation to quantify the thickness of the biological community attachment: wherein represents the standard deviation of the thickness of all measurement points represents the total number of all measurement points represents the actual thickness of the th measurement point represents the average thickness of all measurement points
[0027] This process improves the recognizability of the attachment layer edge through image preprocessing, and combines the precise size reference provided by laser calibration to achieve millimeter-level quantitative measurement of the thickness of the seabed biological community. This provides basic quantitative data for environmental monitoring, structural assessment and blind area repair
[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the specific process of applying adaptive histogram equalization to enhance the target area signal of its fused data in step S4 includes: Step S401: Generate a feature map from the fused data, and then divide the feature map into sub-blocks. To avoid discontinuity between blocks, for each sub-block boundary pixels, CDF interpolation of the adjacent four blocks is used, and then each sub-block is independently equalized, and at the same time, the gray histogram is calculated for each sub-block where B is the gray level; Step S402: For each sub-block , normalize the histogram to generate a probability distribution: , and calculate the cumulative distribution function: , and then map the original gray value to the equalized value, thereby enhancing the target area As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the specific process of extracting the blocked area on the grille surface by the Otsu threshold segmentation algorithm in step S4 includes: classifying the image grayscale of the enhanced target area into blocked and non-blocked categories, and finding the optimal threshold through the following formula to maximize the between-class variance : where represents the grayscale threshold, , represents the pixel proportion of the blocked area in the enhanced target area, represents the pixel proportion of the non-blocked area in the enhanced target area, represents the average grayscale of the pixel proportion of the blocked area, represents the average grayscale of the pixel proportion of the non-blocked area; then, according to the threshold , automatically re-segment the blocked and non-blocked areas again.
[0029] Specifically, referring to Figure 5 , for the 1.2 MHz high-frequency sonar image, apply adaptive histogram equalization to enhance the contrast of the target area, and then extract the suspected blocked area through Otsu threshold segmentation. Taking a 1 m × 1 m weak reflection area as an example, the enhanced image clearly shows the fracture contour of the grille, and the calculated area is 0.82 m². Specifically, the quantification of the grille blockage area needs to combine the acoustic image data and the optical image data of the grille surface. Use the 1.2 MHz high-frequency channel of the EdgeTech 4200MP sonar to obtain the acoustic image of the grille surface with millimeter-level resolution. In response to the decrease in image contrast caused by water attenuation, apply adaptive histogram equalization to enhance the signal of the target area, and then extract the suspected blocked area through the Otsu threshold segmentation algorithm, such as fishing net entanglement or sediment accumulation. Taking a 1 m × 1 m weak reflection area as an example, after the acoustic image is enhanced and segmented, the identified fracture area of the grille is 0.82 m²; at the same time, the ROV optical image shows that the fishing net coverage rate in this area reaches 73%, verifying the reliability of the acoustic area calculation.
[0030] Referring to Figure 6 , the ROV optical camera takes a close-up shot and shows that the fishing net coverage rate in this area reaches 73%, the biological attachment thickness is 8 - 12 mm, and the comprehensive calculated loss rate of the flow-through area is 32.1%. Among the 8 groups of grilles, 3 groups have a blockage degree exceeding the threshold.
[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, step S5 specifically includes: step S501: Based on the spatial correlation variogram model of the acoustic data to fit the spatial correlation of the acoustic data: where is the lag distance, represents the nugget effect, represents the sill value, The distance scale representing the spatial autocorrelation effect; Step S502: Calculate the interpolation weight of the known points for the point to be interpolated according to the variogram model: Wherein, is the Lagrange multiplier, represents the th known point and the th known point distance between, represents the th known point and the position of the point to be interpolated distance between, represents the th known point and the th known point spatial correlation variation value between, represents the th known point and the position of the point to be interpolated spatial correlation variation value between, represents the number of known points in the blind area adjacent region, represents the th known point interpolation weight for the position of the point to be interpolated; Step S503: Use Kriging interpolation to predict the elevation value of the blind area: Wherein, represents the elevation value of the blind area at the position of the point to be interpolated represents the elevation value of the known points in the blind area adjacent region.
[0032] Step S504: Map the elevation value of the blind area predicted for the position of the point to be interpolated in Step S503 to the blind area on the backflow surface of the grid. Specifically, there are detection blind areas in areas such as the backflow surface of the grid and the inside of the culvert box, resulting in the lack of scour terrain data. Therefore, the present invention uses ROV optical images and laser calibration data to perform spatial interpolation compensation on the blind area. By approaching and shooting with the ROV optical image to obtain a high-resolution image, combined with the laser calibration module to measure the three-dimensional coordinates of the feature points (accuracy ±0.2 mm), the geometric constraints of the blind area boundary are extracted; subsequently, combined with the spatial correlation variogram model of the acoustic data, based on the Kriging interpolation algorithm, the elevation value of the blind area is predicted. For example, due to acoustic wave occlusion, 30% of the data is missing in a certain area on the backflow surface of the grid. After optical constraint interpolation, the elevation estimation error is reduced from ±15 cm of traditional linear interpolation to ±9 cm, effectively restoring the scour morphology of this area. Specifically, through this method, combined with nearly 5 years of historical operation and maintenance data and regional geological characteristics (the bottom sediment is silty clay, median grain size ; critical incipient velocity 0.2 m / s; maximum velocity difference between flood and ebb tides 0.7 m / s), a total of 3 types of typical potential hazards are identified in this detection. The specific results are shown in Table 2: ; critical incipient velocity 0.2 m / s; maximum velocity difference between flood and ebb tides 0.7 m / s), a total of 3 types of typical potential hazards are identified in this detection. The specific results are shown in Table 2: Table 2 Hidden danger point situation and repair suggestions
[0033] Through the multi-source data fusion technology, the present invention systematically solves the problem of coupled damage diagnosis of scour and grille blockage of submarine water intake structures. Engineering practice shows that the three-dimensional detection system integrating multi-beam sounding, dual-frequency imaging sonar and ROV optical detection can effectively identify hidden defects that are difficult to capture by traditional single means.
